BASH Shell Crashes When Loaded

BASH Shell Crashes When Loaded

[Ryan Smith]

Everytime I load the bash shell it crashes immediately and gives me this 
error:

The program encountered a general protection exception.
Fault location:         FFFF:FFFF
Interupts in Service:   None

In the setup.log file it keeps showing this error:

compress_bz::error called

I'm using the latest setup.exe on WinME and no matter what packages I select 
or what source I get the files from (I use the 'Install from Internet' 
option), BASH will always crash.  Does anybody know how to fix this?

B
The line above has nothing to do with the crash that you are experiencing.

Installing random source/binary packages is unlikely to help.

You have to provide more information on your environment and the crash 
itself.

Reading http://cygwin.com/bugs.html may help you to provide this 
information. The ouput of 'strace' on  bash would help also - i.e. 
instead of starting bash from the shortcut, run a command prompt window 
and type 'strace -o bash.strace c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' (without the 
quotes) - obviously you have to replace c:\cygwin with the actual 
location where you have installed Cygwin.
